Charles Craver, perhaps the most acclaimed breeder of our age, is undergoing surgery at this time.  He is gravely, gravely ill. Please put Charles and his wife Jeanne on your prayer lists please.

this is such sad news!! We hope and pray that all will come out okay. Charles Craver has been one of our greatest mentors in the breed and a legendary inspiration for maintaining the Arabian horse faithfully.

Our prayers are also with Jeanne in this trying time.

I add my prayers to the many who
both Charles and Jeanne have influenced
and in so many ways.  Charles is a giant
among students of this breed.  I wish him a speedy
recovery for both he and Jeanne.

Thanks Pam for advising these bad news. I knew of Charles being very ill for some time. I pray that he will be okay.
